2025 Fantasy Outlook
Despite being drafted 65th overall last year, Corley played just 83 snaps on offense in nine games for the Jets. His one near-highlight was instead a disaster, with the rookie dropping the ball a split-second before he crossed the goal line on what should've been a 19-yard TD run on national television in Week 9. It was a lost fumble instead, and while the Jets continued using him in a part-time role for the next few weeks, Corley was a healthy scratch multiple times in December. He has a shot to earn far more playing time Year 2, with Garrett Wilson being New York's only sure starter at wide receiver, although it'll likely be a run-first offense spearheaded by QB Justin Fields and RB Breece Hall. Corley at least is capable of helping the run game, as he's built like a running back (5-foot-11, 215) and earned a huge portion of his yards after the catch during a prolific career at Western Kentucky (3,035 receiving yards, 29 TDs). It's unclear, however, if Corley has the speed and finesse skills to separate from NFL cornerbacks. Read Past Outlooks
Five touches in win
Corley caught both of his targets for 20 yards and had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.
ANALYSIS
As has often been the case this season with the Browns, Corley saw work as a receiver and runner, and this was the eighth time in 13 games he was used in both roles. He latched on with Cleveland after being cut by the Jets prior to the start of the regular season, and finished the regular season with 11 catches on 14 targets for 79 yards and 13 carries for 127 yards, while averaging 23.4 yards on 21 kickoff returns. Cleveland is expected to make significant changes this offseason, and the free agent wideout may not be part of the 2026 picture.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Jets took Corley with the first pick of the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft, 65th overall. He had a prolific college career at Western Kentucky, including 29 TDs over the last three seasons while drawing at least 103 targets each year. Corley mostly caught short passes, with his ability to gain yards after the catch being his standout trait. He's even been compared to Deebo Samuel, though a 4.56 40 at his pro day suggests Corley is a step slower than the 49ers' star receiver. The lack of straight-line speed isn't disqualifying, especially given Corley's strength and bulky frame (5-11, 215). The rookie figures to start his career as New York's third or fourth wide receiver, behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams at the very least. Immediate fantasy value thus seems unlikely unless Williams struggles to return from an ACL tear or Wilson misses time with an injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to make team
Corley probably won't make the Jets' 53-man roster, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Corley has been a disappointment since being drafted 65th overall in 2024, and he has no ties to the new regime the Jets brought in during the offseason. After dealing with injuries during OTAs, Corley has struggled to impress the new staff in training camp and the preseason. If Corley's on the outside looking in come final cuts, the Jets may try to trade him to a team in need of wide receiver help, such as the 49ers or Vikings.
